newarkcatholicfan Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 2016- They taught us a team can win their last game, but not make the conferences final. And make the playoffs. 2017- They taught us you can lose your last game, not make the conference final and still make the playoffs. We have also be taught a non power five team can go undefeated and not make the playoffs. Not debatable just two facts. Does anyone think they will continue with these two new ways a team can make the playoffs? Or will this change depending on team and conference?

GrantNKY Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think you meant 2016 and 2017. Also I’m not sure the commitee taught us either of those things. The first one doesn’t even have anything to do with the commitee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plantmanky Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 If they are teaching anything its that 4 is a guessing game, and 8 is what is really needed to get all the right teams in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newarkcatholicfan Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 Buckeyes won their last game Did not win the conference finals Committee put them in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumper_Dad Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 What they have said is that they are going to pick whom they believe to be the 4 best teams with no predetermined qualifiers. As for UCF it just sucks for them that power 5 schools won't play them and their SOS is low. Does anyone think they go undefeated in a power 5 confernces...no they would not.

dognation2 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The committee, consisting of coaches, AD's and otger foitball minds was constructed to pick the 4 best teams for tge playoffs using many metrics and watching football film. It's what everyone cried for after Bama LSU 2. The top 4 teams made tge playoffs each year....job complete as I see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75center Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 They missed it in 2016 and nailed it in 2017. Maybe they taught us they're getting better at it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankdracman23 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 They have not taught us anything because every year is different. How many undefeated teams will there be next year? How many one loss teams? How many 2 loss teams that are Conference Champions? No one knows. Next year there could be 1 undefeated team, 1 one loss team and 9 teams with 2 losses and we will say the Committee taught us something new.

sportsfan41 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Seems like they're getting better at it, but 8 teams would make a lot more folks happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice of Reason Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Seems like they're getting better at it, but 8 teams would make a lot more folks happy. Unless they require teams outside P5 be included in the 8 team playoff, a team like UCF would still be outside looking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, that's part of the downside of not being in a power 5 conference. They're an outlier, not going to happen most seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOS and the thought that if they were in a power 5/ no undefeated season. UCF Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have had an issue with UCF being in an 8 team playoff, but I hate the idea of any team being required to be in. Even if it expands I don't want auto qualifiers, give us the best 8 teams and if the Big 12 or SEC Champ has 3 or 4 losses then they may not make it in.

They had two on the schedule this year. Looks like they've played one or two every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackie Ed Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 UCF AD Says they will hang a banner claiming the national championship and pay the coaching staff the bonuses written into their contracts if they would win a national championship. I for one live this move. I wish Utah would’ve had the guts to do this back when they went undefeated. The NCAA DI championship has been a farce since day one. Even though it has gotten way closer 100% legitimacy it’s still not a perfect set up. I agree with Everyone saying UCF doesn’t run the table in a major conference but how many grams do? I just hate the fact that BY RULE they weren’t even allowed to compete in a playoff. I believe the current 4 team playoff Is in affect until 2020? Until then we won’t see expansion. 8 would be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
